Party Don’t Cry lyrics

[Intro: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Don't cry, dry your eyes, don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eyes, don't cry

[Verse 1: D'Wayne Wiggins & Tony! Toni! Toné!]
If one day I was to wake up dead
(Don't cry, dry your eyes)
And not a single tear, you better not shed
I'm pushing on and on
I'm living up 365
Show you how you're supposed to live your life
(Don't cry, dry your eyes)
That's how it's got to be, 'cause I know

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné! & D'Wayne Wiggins]
Everybody wants to live, nobody wants to die
When I pass away, party, don't cry
(Don't cry, dry your eyes)
How are you supposed to live (Oh) if you're afraid to die?
When I pass away, party, don't cry
(Don't cry, dry your eyes)

[Post-Chorus: D'Wayne Wiggins & Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Now go and break it down real cool, all night long
(Don't cry, dry your eyes, don't cry)
[Verse 2: D'Wayne Wiggins & Tony! Toni! Toné!]
The first day that I opened my eyes
Now that's when you probably should've cried
(Don't cry, dry your eyes)
You see, you got it all wrong
Take it not too fast, not too slow
You got to realize one day we'll go
And if there's one thing for sure, I know

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné! & D'Wayne Wiggins]
Everybody wants to live (Oh), nobody wants to die
(That's why)
When I pass away (Y'all), party, don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eyes
(Now tell me how are you supposed to)
How are you supposed to live (When you're afraid to die)
If you're afraid to die? (That's why)
When I pass away (Y'all), party, don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eye
(Hey, hey, hey)
Everybody wants to live, nobody wants to die
When I pass away (When I pass away)
Party, don't cry (Party, don't cry)
Don't cry, dry your eyes
(And how)
How are you supposed to live (How are you supposed to live)
If you're afraid to die? (If your punk ass afraid to die)
When I pass away (Everybody), party, don't cry
(Party, don't cry, hey)
[Bridge: Tony! Toni! Toné! & D'Wayne Wiggins]
Don't cry, dry your eyes (Yeah), don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eyes (Party, don't cry), don't cry (Tell me)
Don't cry, dry your eyes, don't cry (Now just)
Don't cry, dry your eyes, don't cry

Everybody wants to live
(Everybody wants to live, nobody wants to die)
When I pass away (When I pass away), party, don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eyes (Party, don't cry)
How are you supposed to live?
(How are you supposed to live if you're afraid to die?)
When I pass away (When I pass away), party, don't cry
Don't cry, dry your eyes (Hey, no no)

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné! & D'Wayne Wiggins]
Everybody wants to live (You know), nobody wants to die
(Nobody wants to die)
When I pass away (When I pass away), party, don't cry
(Party, don't cry) (Party, don't you cry)
How are you supposed to live (How can you live)
If you're afraid to die? (If you're afraid to die)
When I pass away (Oh, just), party, don't cry
(Oh, tell all my friends)
Everybody wants to live (I'm okay), nobody wants to die
(I'm gonna be alright)
When I pass away (Just), party, don't cry
(Celebrate, celebrate, baby)
How are you supposed to live (If it all ends)
If you're afraid to die? (Just meet at my favorite spot)
When I pass away (Geoffrey's, baby), party, don't cry
(You better party, party all night for me)
[Outro: Tony! Toni! Toné! & D'Wayne Wiggins]
Heavy-do-do-do, ba-do-do-do-do-do, ba-do-do-do
Party, don't cry (Party, don't cry for me)
How are you supposed to live (Ba-do-do-bo)
If you're afraid to die? (Ba-do-do-bo)
When I pass away, party, don't cry
